The black plates are here. We did it after six years of waiting.

*May 2023 Update, we have done it! Historic black plates are now available to all cars in the state of Utah. Thanks for your support throughout the last 6 years on this!
We have asked the State of Utah to consider bringing back a current version of the handsome retro Utah license plate (black with white lettering) that was used for so many years and name it the "Legacy" plate. Senator Fillmore has introduced the bill and we need at least 500 Utah residents that have vehicles registered here to show interest. Once that level has been met, and if the bill passes, the State of Utah will require at least 500 registrations be pre-sold before production. So for now, please show your interest by signing the petition in support of the idea and let's make Utah's license plates great again! *Update: AMAZING! Over 500 signings in just 4 hours! Let's keep the signings coming in to show the state just how interested we are! **Update 12/2017 - Senator Fillmore is now sponsoring this bill (SB41) so we're on the way! ***Last update, 2019 - Mission accomplished! This bill (SB41) was signed into law by Governor Herbert but is currently stalled due to an old requirement that states plates should have certain reflective qualities and there is no black reflective paint currently on the market. Utah will have to update this outdated requirement or change processes of plate making like other states have done, by printing plates instead of stamping them. Stay tuned and keep your fingers crossed.- Johnny Lange

I enjoy the simplicity of it, easy to read without any graphic in the background. The current arches/ski are not necessarily overly busy or difficult to read but this minimalist approach really appeals to me.
The simplicity of plain back plates would look so nice on a lot of newer cars that are currently stuck with gaudy multi-colored plates clashing with their paint jobs.
Please! The understated class is so cool and looks great on any car. Just look at California's newly revived black plate. Skiing and Moab are great, but this works with my personality way better. Motorcycles too, please!
good for a black or dark colored car or to complete that storm trooper white grand cherokee or white ford explorer. On a blacked out Mustang? So good!
I have 4 vehicles that I would ask for the black license plate. I do not like all the colors that clash with my car, I wish something neutral was offered.
DONE AND DONE! As of May 2023, the Utah Historical Black plates are on the books and available to any vehicle now! Thanks for everybody's support on this!

I was driving through town & saw someone with the old white on black Utah license plate & it looked so stylish & sleek! I would definitely get one if we're able to bring them back!
